Is there anyway around stopping my game monitor from minimizing when using windows on the other screen? Thanks guys any help would be great !
 
Solution
That's a limitation on how full screen works in DirectX and OpenGL because of the way the inputs have to be specifically attached to the game that's running. The only way around that is to use border-less windowed mode. But even then, you might not be able to keep playing as moving the keyboard and mouse out of focus will probably also redirect any other inputs to whatever app has focus at certain moment.
